Highlights
See the forest for the trees
The path to becoming a digital business is complex and difficult to navigate. How to keep up with all the technologies you have now and plan for new ones? Portfolio Management can help you organize your information and see all your IT assets clearly. Use it to help make the important decisions–like how to evolve the IT landscape–to support your digital business. Optimize portfolios to clear away the clutter and improve enterprise agility.
Portfolio-thinking is business-thinking
Business managers have long learned to observe individual LOB performance, strategies and characteristics to ensure they are in sync with each other in order to make investment, divestment and hold decisions. Likewise, IT managers should use a portfolio approach to assess assets, returns and risks in the IT landscape to derive top value from IT investments.
Integrated portfolios enable "whole view" management
Understand the interdependencies among your portfolios–application, project and business capabilities–to make better-informed decisions concerning IT change and plan its impact on your enterprise. By associating application and project costs with business capabilities, you can match IT spending to business drivers to get a 360-degree, integrated view of your enterprise.
Set the pace for change
Different systems support different functional areas of the business. From business innovation to a particular market segment, from the back office to a customer-facing app–each system requires unique changes on its own timeline. With a portfolio setup, you can easily group systems as per the needed rate of change and tailor assessment criteria accordingly.
